Hey, Gateway Pandit household!
My identify is Mason Courson, I'm from Fort Lauderdale, FL. I’m a wrongfully convicted J6 hostage. For the final 28 months, my life has been one thing I by no means imagined, a nightmare. It's been some time since I've written an article for the general public, and proper now I really feel it's vital to let folks know what's occurring with me right here. My feelings, my every day life, and issues I'm coping with.
Since I used to be sentenced 57 months in the past in June 2023, when the hammer got here down, it felt surreal. I'm attempting my greatest day by day to not let the scenario break me down. It's a little bit higher now that my finish date has come, and I'm out of the horrible jail system. However, it’s nonetheless tough at occasions given the habits of employees members and a few prisoners. Numerous prisoners are hustling, so there are people who find themselves jealous. This results in gossip and rumors. I can't neglect that there’s a lot of credit score going round, and a few folks don't care about paying their payments. Some folks had given me a mortgage months in the past, I’ve postponed it for now. There's not a lot I can do about it right here. By no means in my life have I seen such blatant disregard for paying payments, full irresponsibility for obligations. Not paying on some options is enjoying along with your life, however this characteristic just isn’t thought-about “activated”. Which has its personal benefits and drawbacks. Plus, there are some actual Trump haters on the market. Generally it's actually onerous to maintain my composure and maintain a straight face once they discuss trash about Trump or the entire J6 factor. I'm actually uninterested in this.
I ignore a lot of the feedback and jibes, however after all, it bothers me inside. I don't know what number of occasions recently I’ve heard “Massacre” or “Stand and Stand” with laughter. They actually don't perceive. I’m not the type of one who instigates or entertains this type of negativity. Many of those folks suppose they know all the things and are full liars. It's not simply the folks I'm uninterested in; In reality, I'm typically fed up of being caged. My shut family and friends know the way I really feel. The one factor that retains me going is that I’ve a shining hope behind my thoughts that Trump will come again and really forgive us all, bringing an finish to this struggling. That is being mentioned repeatedly. Wouldn't that be probably the most epic day? I can hope and pray. I’ve an excellent feeling about what the long run holds for me and people closest to me.

Aside from the folks right here, not less than I can say that my expertise at my present place has been considerably okay. Jail and jail are fully completely different. It was the strangest factor after I was leaving the jail and on the point of be transferred to the jail; I stated, “I can't wait to go to jail.” Who would have thought that I’d say one thing like this in my lifetime? Since I got here right here, I’ve saved myself busy as regular with card video games, studying books and exercising. I really earned the job title of “Spin Class Teacher.” Earlier than coming right here I had by no means performed a spin class a day in my life, however now I like it.
Since I’ve an excellent job doing out of doors recreation, it retains me off the unit and away from sure folks. This can be a constructive factor for me, as a result of I get pleasure from educating others and serving to them enhance. Additionally, I generally keep up late and discuss to some completely different folks about all types of issues. Time will fly, and earlier than we understand it's three within the morning and we're hurrying again to our cubes. Actually, there are lower than 5 folks I can actually belief and discuss to exterior. I’ve realized quite a bit from these folks. What's actually loopy is that I'm surrounded by folks with whom I’ve nothing in widespread or with whom I’ve no need to speak. It's onerous to cope with bullshit.
Being caught right here all this time, I’ve missed out on vital years of my son's formative years. He’s now 4 years outdated and can flip 5 in a number of months. Generally I discover myself mendacity in my bunk, daydreaming about enjoying with my son, kicking or throwing a ball round, or enjoying with Legos. It sucks realizing he'll begin kindergarten with out me there to see his first day of college. That is extra disturbing than you’ll be able to think about. I even have a niece and three cousins round my son's age; All of them take a look at me and bear in mind me. A few week in the past, I used to be capable of discuss to my son's mom on the telephone (thank God.) She's additionally been coping with quite a lot of stress recently. She blames me as a result of I'm not there to assist our boy. Which I fully perceive and she or he hates me for it. In reality, that is one thing I by no means supposed to do nor did I come to jail with the intention of creating her life tough. Nevertheless, sadly, she doesn't see it that method. Nevertheless, he did let me discuss to his son Varsai on the telephone for quarter-hour. Given my relationship together with his mom, I don't get many alternatives to speak to him. It blew my thoughts how he might discuss so clearly and a lot. He appeared a little bit shy, however he wasn't speaking a lot earlier than I used to be arrested. Nevertheless, when he requested me the place I used to be and after I was coming again, my coronary heart virtually stopped. I didn't know what to say. I’d by no means want this type of torture on anybody with youngsters. This has been very onerous for me, I’m happy with myself for a way sturdy I’ve been.
Currently, I’ve been coping with quite a lot of negativity and my stress. The previous few months have been disappointing. My household has been affected; He cries virtually each time I come to fulfill him. That is actually painful for me as a result of, like most individuals, I don't wish to see folks I like unhappy. Additionally, not with the ability to do something for myself can also be bothering me. On the surface, I delight myself on being unbiased and doing my very own factor, by no means asking for assist from anybody. So it feels in contrast to me to precise how I really feel proper now. For instance, my mom has been supporting me financially this entire time. She has been my core of help, however the burden is just too nice. With the best way the economic system has boomed, I don't know the way she does it actually. Now we have run out of cash and she or he is struggling to place the fee into my account as of late. So I’m requesting you please assist us along with your funds. Something you’ll be able to spare could be significantly appreciated. Additionally, please share this with anybody you suppose could be keen on studying about me or serving to me Right here.
Due to all of you!
To finish my transient rant on a constructive notice, with all the things occurring on the earth in the intervening time, I nonetheless see nice issues forward. Generally it appears as if there isn’t any hope and all is misplaced, however it isn’t. Think about God and know that issues will get higher with time. All the things must be carried out. The Patriots are in management, issues have to occur a sure method for all the things to go easily. God bless you all!
